Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The newspaper is a Bible which we read every morning and every afternoon, standing and sitting, riding and walking. It is a Bible which every man carries in his pocket, which lies on every table and counter, and which the mail, and thousands of missionaries, are continuously dispensing. It is, in short, the only book which America has printed, and which America reads. So wide is its influence.
